The Business Journal of Milwaukee: Bradley Center picks Indy firm for project - Stores, restaurants add revenue stream to aging sports venue
CB Richard Ellis and Bradley Center officials have hired Lauth Property Group of Indianapolis to propose a retail and entertainment complex north of the Bradley Center. Lauth has a decent track record in creating high-quality, pedestrian-friendly retail developments.
Lauth is proposing several restaurants and stores for those sports enthusiasts who want to spend some time in the area - before and after a game. Ideally, the revenue from such a retail development would help pay for upgrades in the aging sports venue.
Bradley Center officials are hoping to finalize a plan by early 2008.
Mark Kass, writer for The Business Journal of Milwaukee, highlights Lauth's other high-profile projects throughout the country.

The Business Journal of Milwaukee: Parking lots make downtown Milwaukee prime real estate
Did you know that there are more than two dozen surface parking lots in Downtown Milwaukee which occupy nearly 40 acres? These parking lots are invaluable. Some say that these lots provide Downtown Milwaukee with nearly hundreds of millions of dollars in future real estate development. Commercial developers are already keeping a close eye on these parking lots - especially those that are located east of the Milwaukee River.
According to the article, the three most valuable parking lots are found along the Milwaukee River (near the corner of Water and McKinley). One of these parking lots is already under contract for a mixed-use office building, along with retail, hospitality, and entertainment venues.
Pete Millard, writer for The Business Journal of Milwaukee, identifies additional parking lots for potential development as well as recently developed sites.
